SG & EB Bass Club

I bought the Bass with the pickup installed as part of the deal so I don't know. I still have the Mudbucker also but I can't imagine ever installing it unless someone wanted the Bass without the Bisonic. I listened to the demo on Youtube and my opinion is it actually sounds better in person. It was however the demo that made me want one of these. I was very pleased when I actually heard it in person.

I had one on my Epi EB3 that I very stupidly left on when I traded it in. If it was around $60.00 dollars it would be a quicker decision I'm looking forward to seeing what Jeff has come up with .

I have a the standard Babicz bridge on a new Gibson EB bass. I really like it, so a Gibson specific version should be worth the wait. Especially if it's cheaper.

If you're on the fence about the bridge but don't want to drop the major coin required for the Supertone, you might try the "MODBAR." It fits snuggly under the stock bridge and eliminates the inherent design flaw that causes the strings to sit with the windings on the saddles. It's about $30 IIRC.

So is that stainless steel or aluminum?

Stainless steel. Here's the seller's full description:

Mod-Bar guy said:
Hello Ebay!

My name is Evan Webb, proud owner of WEBBTECA MUSICAL INDUSTRIES. In the spring of 2006 I invented what is called a MOD-BAR, the end all problem solver for 2 and 3 point bass bridges. These bridges are commonly found on Gibson, Epiphone and even some imported basses like Aria. All of them share a design flaw that won’t let the saddles intonate correctly. This inherent flaw also causes the silk windings (near the end of the string) to rest over the metal saddles, killing the tone and sustain! Many players have wasted time trying to unwind or cut them off. Now you don’t have…

The Patent Pending (#60/767,359) MOD-BAR will fix this problem! More importantly, it will also add Volume, Sustain and Tone! Guaranteed! This is the best upgrade for your bass and with-out any permanent modification to your instrument. Just thread the strings through the MOD-BAR, tuck it under the bridge and tune up! Can all be done in 10min or less!

There’s over 300 MOD-BAR’s out there in the world. Not a single one ever returned or broke. Thanks to its solid stainless steel construction, rust or tarnishing will never happen. All my customers have been stunned, amazed and shocked at what a simple piece of metal can do and for such a low cost! How about this customer review for example….

Evan,
Well it's been about a week since I got the mod bar in the mail and I've had plenty of time to try it out. I was very skeptical, but I cannot deny that such a small chunk of metal adds tons of sustain. Notes last much longer and do not decay as quickly. Chords are even more dramatic; they do not lose their articulation and sustain for days. Also, a side benefit of the bar is that it adds extra weight to the body of the bass which helps to curb the heavy necks of Gibson basses. My Jack Casady bass had a slight neck dive that is gone with the added weight to the bridge. On a bass like a thunderbird (Which have very, very heavy necks) I would imagine this 3-point bridge mod would help that as well.....

-Nick

That’s just one of many I have received over the past four years. If you have questions or comments please give my business line a call 1-614-716-9750 it’s always great to talk to you musicians! I have different sized models and colors available so just ask!

“Welcome to WEBBTECA!”
